Indy Windscreen.

A few people have asked about a screen for an Indy. I got a Lolocost one for £70 and MK made me some supports. Screen is a little big but looks OK. I've put some pics on my photo archive. I'm currently trying to make some side screens so the holes in the scuttle were for my mirror, I will probably fit some Tiger ones to the screen supports if the sidescreens work out OK. I will be making some filler pieces so the screen surround/scuttle to tidy things up. The screen can be taken off in about 10mins and the old bike mirrors refitted for trackdays if need be.

nice one, where did you get the side screen hinge things from? i bought a second hand 'lolocost' screen from someone am i right in thinking it doesn't hug the scuttle at the sides and hits the middle? as i had thought about either getting it cut if poss or getting a new one cut to size fom autoglass.. but if the seal does a good enough job i won't bother.

Wipers next, yep a real pain! You could cut the frame in the centre and remove 1-2" and then soft solder it back together and get a new piece of glass cut, but then you might as well start from scratch and bend your own surround, The hinges are from Dax and a bit steep at a very non locost £35, but they are stainless and very well made, seems that brass ones snap in time due to the sidescreen movement.
